Public Transport
If arriving by public transport at Sylhet Railway Station or the Central Bus Terminal, take a CNG auto-rickshaw or a local bus towards the city center. Ask to be dropped off near 'Dak-bangla road close to Shah Jalal road' or near the Surma River. From there, Keane Bridge is a short walk away. CNG auto-rickshaw fares from the railway station or bus terminal to the city center typically range from 50-80 BDT.
